Flood Risk

Complete
medium RiskZone: Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) / Moonee Ponds Creek catchment

Hampton is located in the Moonee Ponds Creek catchment in Melbourne's inner west and has moderate flood risk due to historical flooding events. The LSIO typically applies to low-lying properties near the creek corridor. While not as severely flood-prone as some outer suburbs, Hampton residents and developers should verify specific property-level overlay mapping and comply with VIC planning scheme flood-risk provisions.

Planning Controls

  • LSIO applies to properties within the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood extent
  • Development must satisfy floor level requirements and may require flood-resistant construction
  • Planning permit required for vulnerable uses (residential, aged care, hospitals) in flood-affected areas
  • Stormwater management and flood impact assessment often required for new development
